Well done! It's so good to have support, and I hope you increase in confidence.

Yes I can, using AI like that!

I shall be at my father's funeral next Thursday, so I shall be getting out the proper Scottish-style kilt and trappings, as the most acceptable skirt option in such a situation. It's the appropriate tartan for the surname, even if his family did come from quite the other end of the island of Great B...

We can used “newspeak” to our advantage. Men that loose touch with new concepts are going to get left behind and will stagnate while others will move forward and accomplish their goals. No, "newspeak" is well discredited by anybody over about 50. We have vastly different backgrounds, upbr...

I have found crotchless tights to work well for these purposes and find it easier than garters (suspenders to you). I have found "mock suspender tights" very practical, except when you have to spend several minutes untwisting them before putting them on. I had one experience with six-stra...

I am going to guess that they are actually full-skirted coats or surcoats.

Why not get a girl’s bike with no center bar and avoid the problem. If I was into biking, I would get a pink or lavender girl’s bike. I had a girl's bike when I was at college. I figured that (a) I would be able to lend it to more people, and (b) if I ever got a kilt, then I could ride the bike whi...

For all my feminine aspects I prefer to talk to my fellow men at church, even when I'm dressed en femme . I'll talk to anyone, but I am conscious of feeling vaguely uncomfortable in all-male environments. It first struck me at a get-together for ex-pupils of my (all-male) school. In an all-male env...

I once consulted a doctor for a small growth on my leg, and wore a kilt since it made access a lot easier. Of course, he didn't turn a hair.

Yes, there is a lot of Grayson Perry on YouTube and it is interesting. One thing is, he uses "transvestite" to describe himself quite a bit.... I think the term is too much criticized, perhaps because of a connection with sexuality which is not always appropriate. While binary clothing st...

Hi, Long time lurker and skirt wearer, although not in public yet. trying to work up the courage. Just curious where the boundary comes between skirt wear and TV. Well, obviously I am a cripplingly old-fashioned person and a linguistic and conceptual reactionary, but I still think that this is not ...

But if someone sincerely complimented something I wore as "pretty", I'd take it positively. I am really glad you said this, since one of the things that started this idea for a thread, was the tartan skirt you wore to the Skirt cafe meet in November. Thanks. It's from our local brand, Sup...

It's blue, so obviously it's a boy's skirt. And you are wearing it like a man!

My own taste tends towards things that are "smart" or "elegant" rather than "pretty". But if someone sincerely complimented something I wore as "pretty", I'd take it positively.

For those members of this community who are interested in the ways that clothes can be adapted/designed across the male-female spectrum, I have found a set of four articles that explore the subject from an explicit "non-gendering" perspective: Thanks: that's really interesting. I am gener...

Unfortunately 15th May is our wedding anniversary and since my wife is "uncomfortable" with me wearing anything from the other aisle (despite her mostly wearing trousers and, as she's small, often "boy's" "leisure wear") I'm unlikely to be able to participate without c...
